NDC's Abanga Yakubu Alhassan denies illegal mining links as EOCO probe looms

Abanga Yakubu Alhassan rejected accusations connecting him to unauthorized mining operations after Ghana's Attorney-General ordered an investigation. The National Democratic Congress official faces scrutiny alongside party organizer Joseph Yamin for alleged participation in galamsey activities. Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine directed the Economic and Organised Crime Office to examine both politicians based on credible intelligence reports. The allegations suggest their involvement threatens water resources and forest areas throughout mining regions. Alhassan maintains complete innocence regarding any illegal extraction activities.

The senior party executive characterized the claims as deliberate fabrications designed to undermine his political standing. He emphasized his clean record during a television appearance on JoyNews while dismissing the accusations as calculated attacks. Alhassan confirmed the absence of formal correspondence from investigating authorities but pledged full cooperation. The politician expressed readiness to assist investigators and provide necessary clarification when contacted. His statement emphasized commitment to transparency throughout the official inquiry process.
